6 Easy ways to spruce up the outside of your home...

Summer is here and it is the perfect time to spruce up the yard! You don't have to sped an arm and a leg to do it either.

1. Add some plants
Adding flowers and shrubs is an inexpensive way to add green and pops of color. If you live in an apartment in somewhere that will not allow you to plant plants, you can easily hang them!

2. Add flare to the front door
Paint your front door with a fresh coat of matching paint or a new color that will add some flare. If painting is not an option, add a colorful wreath or large bow.

3. Light it up
Add new light bulbs to any outdoor lighting. Particularly the sconce located outside of the front door. You can even add colored light bulbs for an extra pop.

4. Power wash the house
You can hire someone or rent a power washer, but either way, this task will brighten up the outside of your home.

5. Furnish it up
Add outdoor seating on the front porch. An economical way to do this would be to check out the Facebook marketplace for people selling furniture in your area.

6. Clean it up
Mow, weed eat, clean out gutters.

How to use reclaimed wood around the house

How much mulch do you need...how to figure it out...

Typically, you will need 3-4 inches of mulch to cover your space. The reason for this is because the first rain will wash some of the mulch away.

Although we do have a mulch calculator to the right of this blog, I will give you the formula to figure it out.

Measure your space in feet.
Take the total and divide it by 3. (This gives you the square yard total)

Take 3 or 4 inches of mulch and divide it by 36.
Take the total and multiply it by the square yardage total.


This will give you the total cubic yards.
We sell our mulch by the cubic yard and sell in half yard increments.

Here is an example using 183 feet of coverage:

• 183 divided by 3 = 61
• 3 divided by 36 =.08333
• .08333 x 61 = 5.083

5 cubic yards of mulch

Why cedar mulch?

www.4seasonsphotographyonline.com

Cedar mulch is organic, long lasting and does not have to be replaced as often as other mulch options. It also repels insects, pests, fungus and bacteria.

Cedar mulch conserves soil moisture which makes it perfect for perennial beds.

One last reason to choose cedar mulch... It makes the yard or garden look neat and pretty!

6 ways to spruce up the outside of your home

Can mulch prevent weeds?

In order for mulch to act as a barrier for weeds, you have to lay down a minimum 3 inch layer of mulch.


In order to survive, weeds need light and warm soil. So, by adding extra mulch over the top of weeds, it blocks the sunlight and prohibits growth.

You can also use what is called a double mulching technique to keep weeds at bay. Lay down newspaper, then add mulch on top.

Of course, no technique is guaranteed to keep weeds away, but these two techniques will definitely help!

It is springtime and time for mulch! Ever wonder why you should lay mulch? Let me explain...

By laying mulch, you allow the soil to stay moist. It also improves the overall health / fertility of the soil. Mulch decreases the growth of weeds and makes the landscape look more appealing.

Mulch will also improve the temperature of the soil. It keeps the soil cool in summer and warm in the winter.
